rs How loosely the existing political parties
are held together and how ready they are to fall
apart and recrystalize around any living issue
has been nowhere forcibly illustrated as in the
remarkable canvass just closed in Texas. Upon
the old national issues Texas is Overwhelmingly
Democratic, to the extent of nearly three-fourths
of the population, the Cleveland electors having
plurality of 49,, 900 in vote of 1000; but on
the question of Prohibition the party vote has
been broken all to pieces and some, at least of the
fragments seem likely to remain scattered. The
present activity of the prohibition idea is in a
great degree due to the lack of we'll defined politi
cal issues Politics had become so one-sided and
dull in Texas that something was needed to make
contest and the liquor question presented itself,
with what results we have seen. This is a means
of dividing the "Solid South" that has scarcely
entered into the calculations, and the outcome will
be of interest to politicians everywhere.

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

The Government departments in Washington
consume over two tons of ice daily during the
summer months.
Mrs. Cleveland proposes to astonish Wash
ington society next winter with the beauty and
variety of her Worth attire.
The rumOr is again revived in Washington
that Secretary Lamar is to be appointed to the
vacant Supreme Court Judgeship.
Fifty acres ofland near President Cleveland's
country place, short distance from Washington,
was sold few days ago for $4,000.
The indefatigable newspaper men have dis
covered that the President writes to his wife every
day while she is on her Northern visit.
The prominent Government officials in Wash
ington, including members of the Cabinet, have
nearly all gone away on their vacations and the
city has deserted appearance.
"A FULL looded Omaha Indian, who has been
clerk in the Bureau of Indian Affairs for several
years, has lately been promoted to 81 200 clerk
ship. He is said to be very smart.
Secretary Endicott has been driving pair of
fve-hundred- dollar horses paid for by the Gov
eminent, but hereafter he must either pay for his
own horses or walk The probabilities are he will
walk.
The President has lately been receiving so
many invitations from Southern and Western
cities that he has finally been obliged to call
halt. He don't want to see any more delegations
and he declines to accept any more invitations.
The receipts of the Government from the tax
on oleomargarine from November, 1886, to July
LIST, 1887, were $723, 946.05. Of this amount
Maryland only paid S1,679.7O. 1t is estimated
that the tax from the same source will be more
than doubled during the current year.
-Ex- Congressman Rainey, of South Carolina,
whose death has been announced, was one of the
most intelligent and eloquent of the colored race
ever in Congress, and had the proud distinction
of being the first man formerly slave to preside

tatives
commissioner Black, of the Pension Depart
ment, granted pension lately to Mrs. Mary
Casey, of Washington, Fayette county, Ohio, as
the widow of John Casey, Revolutionary soldier.
She had married the veteran of the revolution
when he was IS years old and she only 16. and
mas been his widow since 1915.
AN illustration of the slow progress made
by women in the matter of age is afforded by the
records of the civil service commission in Wash
ington. A young lady applied for an examina-
ton in 1884 and gave her age as 10. She has
just filed another application and is but twenty
years of age according to her statement.
Secretary Fairchild says he does not believe
in Sentimental" civil service, meaning the kind
which the famous Mugwump, Geo. VIM. Curtis,
approves Of A good many department officials
have come to the conclusion that the patronage
of the Government is more an element of weak
ness than of strength and they would be glad to
be relieved of the responsibility of filling the
minor offices.

m-The letter of Hon. William Pinkney Whyte,
accepting the Democratic nomination for Attorney
General of Maryland, has not enough orthodoxy
in it to suit many of his party friends. 1t is well
known that for some time Mr.. Whyte has not been
in very good odor with the managers of the Dem
ocratic party and it was therefore not surprising
that the placing of his name on the ticket should
cause many of the hide-bound fellows to vince
considerably at the mere idea of his again being
invited to so prominent seat cat the government
table," But the managers knew that the name of
Mr.. Whyte would add strength to the ticket and
they put him on without consultation with him.
But his letter of acceptance has given them a
severe chill. We do not find in it any defense OF
the grave charges that have been made against
the party by those who have heretofore stood high
in its councils. He passes all those matters over
and accepts the nomination in plain, business
like style, without making any reference to the
party platform upon which he is supposed to
stand. The letter says that "no party monopo-
Lies all the intelligence and integrity of the coun
try and concludes by cordially approving "every

@-By reference to our local columns it will be
seen that a movement is on foot to put up an in
dependent Democratic ticket in Baltimore county.
A meeting was held in Baltimore last Saturday,
ones, and another will be held to-day to further
the scheme, which now has the appearance of
amounting to something. There is so much diff
ference of opinion in regard to this movement,
among those who are more or less interested in it
that it is difficult to tell what the outcome will be-
1t appears that some of the regular nominees are
entirely satisfactory to some Of these gentlemen,
while others are not, and while some will favor the
placing of complete ticket in the field, others
want portion of the regular ticket to stand.

@-A fortune Of a half million dollars or more
has been awaiting claimant in Brooklyn for
exactly twenty years. Nothing, perhaps, could
illustrate the decay of Yankee enterprise more
forcibly than this. A few forged letters, written
on paper that had been exposed to the sun for a
week or two, and an alleged marriage certificate
dipped into cup of boarding house coffee and
dried and the necessary documentary evidence of
heirship would be at hand for spirit venture
some enough to bay the legal dogs. True, the
shadow of prison is just beyond, but is there no
American brave enough to take this kind of a risk
for half million, when scores of common default
tiers are going to Jail every week?

is having quite boom for the Republican nomi-

him, but there can be no question about his being
a very strong man. He has great popularity in
Western Maryland and possibly could get vote
that no other man could. Mr.. Sam ! D. Schumacher,
ofthe well-known Baltimore law firm of Schumacher
& Whitelock, is also being prominently named for
Attorney General on the ticket, and no better
selection could be made.
